So, my first ever South African show is going up at Wolves in Illovo next week, it opens on Friday (the 28th February 2014) evening and runs until the end of March. It is going to be like one of those awkward animal adoption fair things, but when you get home you wont regret buying them and they probably wont pee in the house.

I am not sure how many creatures will fit, but I sent somewhere between 40 and 50, including a brand new series of cats and one of delfty creatures that I have never shown anywhere, except perhaps on instagram…. so if you live in Johannesburg, you should go, and also take your friends, and their friends, and the random guy in the back of the taxi.

I (somewhat spontaneously) volunteered to do artwork for my daughters school drama show this year, having no idea how incredibly much time it was going to take, or how much fun I was going to have with it. I have not done too much digital work prior to this project so it really gave me an opportunity to play with photoshop, experiment and get a whole lot more organized… Layers man.

Here is one of the pieces I came up with for the program, I cant wait to see how the buttons look! They are doing “A year with Frog and Toad” based on the books by Arnold Lobel, and I wanted to do an updated version of the illustrations, using poppier colours and quirkier characters, I am really happy with how they turned out.

I recently did a second solo show at my favourite local space, which went incredibly well, not only did we sell almost everything we had on display and further prints in many cases, but I got to work on a few great commissions which I’ll share soon.
